Dustin Hoffman was feeling depressed during much of the film shoot. He has since stated that he was ready to quit film acting at that time and return to the stage, but a meeting with Producer Stanley R. Jaffe and Writer and Director Robert Benton at his London hotel changed his mind, and resulted his in accepting the role in Kramer vs. Kramer (1979).
In the mid 1920s, Agatha Christie mysteriously disappeared for eleven days, and when she turned up again, no one could ever get a reliable explanation for her disappearance. Even when she died in 1976, no viable explanation was uncovered.
This movie ran over budget and over schedule, and eventually, the project was taken out of Dustin Hoffman's control. There were lawsuits, and delays in post-production. Eventually, Director Michael Apted managed to calm the waters enough to convince Hoffman to complete the movie.
David Puttnam was involved with the production, but left when much of the script was re-written to accommodate Dustin Hoffman. David Puttnam vowed never to work with Hoffman again.
British Writer Kathleen Tynan was so intrigued by the Agatha Christie disappearance story, she tried to make a documentary about those eleven days. But when funding fell through, she wrote a screenplay about the incident instead, a fictional version of it.
"John Foster: Why don't you charge the Colonel with obstructing the police? Kenward: Yes, I might. On the other hand, it could be just the natural behavior of an arrogant overbearing high-ranking sod. Keep that off the record, by the way."
"Wally Stanton: Would you care for a kiss? Agatha Christie: No. Wally Stanton: Would you care for a cigarette? Agatha Christie: No thank you. Wally Stanton: Would you care if I told you that these clumsy attempts of humor are simply my way of telling you that I find myself very attracted to you? Agatha Christie: I'd much rather you didn't. Wally Stanton: Why? Agatha Christie: Because I love my husband very much. My husband was very dear to me."
